Celebrated: January 26–30
Start Strong: Celebrating Farmhouse Breakfast Week
Each year, the last week of January—this year, January 26 to 30—marks Farmhouse Breakfast Week, a national campaign that shines a light on the importance of the morning meal. In a world of snoozed alarms and packed calendars, breakfast is too often skipped. In fact, nearly 47% of people admit they regularly skip breakfast due to their busy schedules.
Farmhouse Breakfast Week was created to encourage families, professionals, and students alike to bring breakfast back to the table—hearty, nourishing, and full of variety. Think beyond a granola bar. We’re talking eggs, toast, oatmeal, yogurt, fruits, juices, and farm-fresh favorites.
Why Breakfast Matters
- Eating breakfast kickstarts your metabolism and improves cognitive performance.
- Studies show breakfast eaters are more likely to meet their daily nutrient targets.
- For kids, a balanced breakfast improves focus, mood, and classroom performance.
- Skipping breakfast regularly is linked to higher risk of weight gain, fatigue, and poor nutrition.
How to Celebrate Farmhouse Breakfast Week
- Bring Back the Sit-Down Meal: Set aside even 10–15 minutes for a proper plate in the morning.
- Cook Together: Families can use this week to get kids involved in the kitchen with easy, healthy recipes.
- Support Local Farms: Visit a farmer’s market or farm shop to stock up on local eggs, bread, and produce.
- Meal Prep Mornings: Make breakfast burritos, overnight oats, or frittatas ahead of time for grab-and-go ease.
Safe Starts: Breakfast & Food Safety
Breakfast is only a healthy habit when it’s prepared and served safely. Here's how to keep it clean and compliant:
- Egg Safety: Cook eggs until whites and yolks are firm. Pasteurized eggs are best for dishes like hollandaise or mousse.
- Dairy Handling: Yogurt, milk, and cheese must be stored below 40°F to prevent bacterial growth.
- Cross-Contamination: Watch for gluten or allergen exposure in prep areas—especially when toasting bread or assembling spreads.
- Juice Safety: If selling fresh-squeezed juice, make sure it’s labeled properly and follows HACCP or FDA juice standards.
